14. Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its validity or the termination thereof, or a breach thereof (in any such case, a "Dispute") shall be resolved pursuant to the following:

14.1. Initiation.

If the Dispute remains unresolved after the expiration of this fifteen (15) day period, then the party that delivered the First Notice, shall give written notice to the other (a "Dispute Notice"), which notice shall set forth a full disclosure of all factual evidence and a statement of the applicable legal basis of the dispute; provided, however, that (i) failure to provide such disclosure or to state any such legal basis shall not operate as a waiver of such legal basis or operate to preclude the presentation or introduction of such factual evidence in any subsequent arbitration or proceeding or otherwise constitute a waiver of any right or claim which a party may then or thereafter possess; and (ii) any settlement proposal made or provided shall be deemed to have been made or provided as part of a settlement discussion and may not be introduced in any arbitration or proceeding without the prior written consent of the party making such disclosure and/or statement.
